Upgrading your home with energy-efficient windows and doors from EcoTech is a smart move. Not only can these upgrades help you save on heating and cooling costs, but they also contribute to making your home more comfortable and are good for the environment. Plus, if you’re in Ontario, you might be eligible for a rebate that can make the process of renovating your home even more affordable.
In this post, we’ll explore how you can qualify and apply for window and door rebates in Ontario in 2025, what programs are available, and how to make the most of them.
Why should I consider upgrading my windows and doors?
When it comes to improving the energy efficiency of your home, windows and doors are two of the most important areas to consider. Properly insulated windows and energy-efficient doors can dramatically reduce your home’s energy consumption, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment year-round. In fact, upgrading to modern, energy-efficient windows and doors can dramatically enhance your home’s insulation, cutting energy consumption and helping you save approximately 8-10% on your annual energy bills.
Ontario homeowners are fortunate to have access to several rebate programs that can help offset the cost of upgrading to energy-efficient windows and doors. These rebates are designed to encourage residents to make sustainable choices that reduce their carbon footprint, all while saving money in the long run.
Key Window and Door Rebates in Ontario
Starting in late January 2025, Ontario homeowners can take advantage of the new Home Renovation Savings Program, offering rebates of up to 30% on energy-efficient upgrades, including EcoTech’s premium EcoSmart windows and doors!
Combined with EcoTech’s flexible financing options, this program makes it easier than ever to start your home improvement project and reap the benefits sooner.
Am I eligible for Ontario window and door rebates?
The Ontario government has tried to open this rebate program to as many homeowners as possible. Full details are available on the official website, but you could be eligible if:
- You own your home, with eligible housing types being: single detached, semi-detached, row/townhomes, and mobile homes with a permanent foundation.
- Be an Enbridge Gas customer with an active account and primarily heat your home with a natural gas furnace or boiler OR be connected to the Ontario electricity grid and heat your home electrically.
Energy-Efficiency Standards
To qualify for rebates, the windows and doors you install must meet certain energy-efficiency standards. For example, Energy Star is a certification mark that indicates a product meets high energy-efficiency standards. All of the windows and doors available from EcoTech are Energy Star certified.
In addition, our EcoSmart windows are NAFS-22 certified. This means they have been tested and exceed rigorous standards set by the North American Fenestration Standard. This includes exceeding benchmarks in key performance areas such as structural performance, water resistance, air leakage, thermal performance and durability.
All this means that you can trust that EcoTech windows will provide reliable protection, comfort and energy savings in your home.
Installation Standards
In addition to the energy efficiency of the windows and doors themselves, the installation process is important. The installation must be done by a professional contractor who is familiar with the minimum energy-saving standards of the rebate programs.
